About the Mai Bhago Vidya Scheme Scheme
Mai Bhago Vidya Scheme aims to ensure that girl students continue their education beyond the primary level by promoting enrolment and reducing dropout rates at the senior secondary and higher secondary levels. The scheme is named after Mai Bhago, one of the bravest Sikh women warriors, who led Sikh soldiers against the Mughals in 1705 and emerged as a hero of the battle for her courage and leadership.

In Punjab, many girls discontinue their education after the 8th standard because schools are located far from their homes. Due to the lack of affordable transportation, it becomes difficult for them to commute to school, as most families in rural areas cannot afford vehicles or bicycles for their daughters. The Mai Bhago Vidya Scheme supports such school-going girls by providing assistance to help them continue their education.
